26 things you may not know about me

Hi everyone! Hope you’re settling back into reality with no problems. Coming back from a long weekend is so bittersweet. Yesterday, I celebrated my 26th birthday. My hubby spoiled me with a fun getaway to New York! We had a lot going on over the summer but we didn’t really get much time for the two of us, so it was nice to escape together for a little while. Love that guy-we always have the best time together.

Any who, I know there are some new faces over here in my little nook of the internet (thank you for joining me, btw-seriously means the world to me that you’re here!), so I thought I would re-introduce myself a bit. And my 26th birthday seemed like the perfect, corny segue into 26 things you may not know about me!

26 things you may not know about me

The first 3 months that Charlie and I were married we lived 8 hours apart.

I’m chronically 5 minutes late to 90% of the things I do. It’s honestly a really bad habit that I need to spend some time working on. No pun intended. 😉

I played piano for about 6 years growing up but I haven’t touched it in years. I have regrets about not sticking with it when I finished lessons!

On the same token, I took Spanish for 8 years in school. I was one class away from a minor (why did I not take that one class?!) I used to understand it really well, but it’s true what they say-“use it or lose it,” and I’m slowly but surely losin’ it. 🙁

I’m a night owl through and through. I’m happiest when I go to sleep around 1 or 2AM.

I’m an introvert. People never believe me when I say this because they tend to think that “introverted” means “shy,” but that’s not the case. I’m a social and friendly person, it’s just that my mental and emotional energy come from quiet and alone time. That’s how I recharge.

I’m a big Netflix junkie. Like a really big one.

I worked at a video rental store for 5 years because yes, they do still exist, haha.

I’m a really, really, really bad texter. Sometimes, it takes me weeks to text back. Anyone and everyone in my life can attest to that. (Refer to exhibit #7).

I went to 4 different schools to complete my bachelor’s degree… 5 separate times. Talk about changing your major, ha! But I finished strong, ya’ll!

There’s a 16 year age gap between me and my oldest sibling. I’m the baby of 5!

I give myself a shot every other week and take 14 pills everyday. (For anyone who doesn’t know, I have Crohn’s Disease. If you’re interested, you can read more about my experiences with Crohn’s here 🙂 ).

Most of my side of the family has pretty thick southern accents. Somehow mine is mostly neutral, though.

I would be fine if I could only eat buffalo wings and Oreos for the rest of my life. I’d be incredibly unhealthy but I’d be fine, hahaha.

I have 3 tattoos and want more. Sorry mom and dad.

I WILL yell at you if you text, snap, insta, or whatever while you’re driving. Huge advocate for staying off your phone while you drive. (Stoplights get a pass :P). It’s so freaking dangerous, though! For you and everyone else on the road. Okay, mom lecture over. But seriously, don’t do it.

“I’m not superstitious but I am a littlestitious.” First, name that show! Second, I actually think I might believe in jinxes a little bit. Is that weird?

My all time favorite fruit is cantaloupe. I could eat it every single day, I swear.

My hair is actually naturally stick straight but I curl it 99% of the time.

Charlie is 7 years older than me.

I struggle with depression and think that it’s so important to change the stigmas associated with mental health issues.

My ring size is 4 and a half. Yes, I just turned 26… not 6, hahaha.

I have really, really bad posture. I kind of hate it. Any tips on how to improve posture are happily welcomed!

I always have music playing (even in the shower). I listen to anything from rap to pop to soft rock to chill-step. (Could the term “chill-step” sound anymore hipster?)

So there ya have it. 26 things you may not have known about me. I hope you got to know me a little better! Leave a comment below telling me one interesting and random fact about yourself! I want to get to know you guys better. 🙂
